Bill Vaughan on Perfect Christmas Gift

Funny Money Quotes: Once we figure out how to buy money with credit, we’ll have the perfect gift for Christmas. Bill Vaughan said:
 

 

“The ideal Christmas gift is money, but the trouble is you can’t charge it” — Bill Vaughan

Bill Vaughan is saying that while money would be an ideal Christmas gift since most people can use money, the problem is that you cannot put money on a credit card to buy as a gift. In the past, before things like gift cards, the only way to give money as a gift was with physical cash.

But you cannot charge cash to a credit card to pay for it. So his quote is pointing out the irony that money is a very practical gift but difficult to purchase or “charge” as a gift using credit.

“Economists report that a college education adds many thousands of dollars to a man’s lifetime income – which he then spends sending his son to college” — Bill Vaughn

In this quote, Bill Vaughn is poking fun at the way economists analyze the value of education. When economists say that a college education can add thousands to one’s lifetime income, Vaughn jokes that this extra income is then spent by the individual on sending his own son to college.

So while economists point to financial benefits, Vaughn suggests the money may just go towards continuing the cycle of education for future generations. His quote lightheartedly questions or critiques the simple monetary perspective economists take by implying the monetary “returns” are put right back into more education.
